is, do you have to be strong? you have to work hard and we lose a nice time, a lot of friends, family, but they know what i'm doing. i know i'm going. my dream was to be a basketball player, or an irish here. ah, china ease is locked down restrictions in a major shift from its strict coven 19 policy. ah hm seeker, this is edge, is it live from the house or coming up? the people have spoken. democrat, rafael warner windsor, run off in the us state of georgia, giving the party an outright majority in the sentence. argentina's vice president,

christina de courtenay, is sentenced to 6 years in prison. guilty of corruption in a $1000000000.00 fraud case. ah, an ethnic wind for morocco, the atlas mines knockout spain to advance to the quarter finals of the work up for the 1st time in its history. in china, china has announced it is loosening it's 0 covey policy. people who are asymptomatic or showing mild symptoms will now be able to isolate at home. the government is also reducing the amount of mandatory testing and move comes off the widespread protests of a harsh prevention measures. it is a major reversal in a country that has seen some of the toughest lockdown policies in the world of

morning. let's bring in there, patrick fork. who is falling story force from hong kong. so patrick, a big decision this. what are you hearing about how people are feeling about it? here will isn't worth though thing in particular that so this policy to some extent was already being applied in some parts of the country already. but the national health commission as announced that it will now implement the policy nationwide and that, you know, as you know, that essentially it means that people who are low risk will be able to isolate at home even if they are infected only if that condition gradually worse and then be taken to hospital so it is a dramatic change. and it really shows the beginnings of the law if you like, of china living with the virus, so to speak. and people law, as you can imagine, overjoyed and excited about these new developments off through this is really what

the protest movements have been about. it's essentially so they have gotten that way and for the government to rack up. but equally, there are a lot of people in china that are still very much concerned about the virus spreading foster. now when we've been hearing reports and seeing images of lots of people chewing up outside pharmacies, trying to pick up medical supplies, anti gen kits and the fever medicine and so on and so forth. and something needs to change with messaging and away. remember, china's classified some curve at 19 as on the same level as bubonic plague. so you know, in that, in that sense, people still need to change their attitude towards the bars in many ways. and a one big problem in the past has been putting the rules in applying the rules. what's been and what's been down to what's been done to address that

yeah, i think this is really important in particular because you know, all along local level officials have been blamed in many instances where things have gone wrong for being over zealous. because from that they've taken a lot of the blame when things have gone the wrong way. and they for overly a strictly enforced a lot of these, these measures. but now authorities are saying that only central authorities will be allowed to declare higher risk areas. so that responsibility has been taken out of the hands of the local level official. so again, this is a big change for people in china and remove some of the risk and confusion over implementation of covert curve, i think also worth noting as well. but, you know, with the removal of the requirement to show negative test results to go to various public spaces. i mean, this lifts a lot of pressure on our local governance and financing as well. remember, you know, these tests have been done. hundreds of millions of test daily,

and that's cost a lot of public money. so this is, you know, positive in many ways. and this is a 1st step in the right direction for many people. and john, yeah, big changes are there that have been just to see how it does play our patrick clock life was there in hong kong, and the u. s. a. democrats have tightened their grip on the senate after raphael warnock defeated republican challenger, herschel walker in georgia, one ox victory in the time before run off means democrats will now have $51.00 seats in the $100.00 seat chamber. 2 candidates were separated by less than one percent of the vote in last month's midterm election. i am ga oh, i'm an example and a little ration low, good history of its pain in his promise

of the brutality and the possibility. but because this is america, because we always have a path to make our country greater again against unspeakable odds. here we stand together for your ga alara whistle is a professor of political science at georgia southern university. she says the tie senate race prompted more people to vote in the runoff turn out in the selection was significantly higher than most mid term elections. and in particular with the runa, between walker, i that turn out that approximately 77000 people turned out to vote in the runoff election, who had not voted in the general the election, which suggest significant interest. notably, a former president, trump did not come to campaign for walker in the past few weeks. and it's possible

that that is due to the controversy surrounding the former president. it's a big moment for the state of georgia. and in addition, it's a big moment for the united states. we've had an election that was this close and i think the division in the results exemplifies the division that currently exists in the united states. a former u. s. president donald trump's company has been found guilty of tax fraud in new york. trump is facing a series of legal woes as he campaigns to run in the 2024 elections. mike, hannah has more on that from washington. has a major financial implication for the trump organization. these crimes of tax evasion went on for some 15 years. and although the fine itself may not be that substantial, that will be divided at decided by the judge. in january, he'll announce exactly what the fine is, but the economic impact on the organization will be substantial. obviously,

it's going to reflect his relationship with banks with other lenders, with other companies in terms of it's ongoing attempts to do business. at this, at the judgement is likely to reflect very negatively on the trump organization as a whole. but for donald trump himself, it's just adding to his long list of legal woes. one must remember that there's a separate case pending against donald trump and his organization rode by the new york attorney general that is pending. and even more seriously, is the investigation being conducted by the department of justice into 2 elements. one is donald trump says, taking documents from the white house to his mar logo estate. and how serious was the misuse as it's put of classified documents? the other issue that the at the justice department is investigating is trumps. attempts to overthrow the 192020 election. so this is now just another in the long

list of legal problems facing donald trump. hadn't seen his vice president, christina church of christina fernandez. the coach now has been sentenced to 6 years in prison. she has been convicted of corruption in a $1000000000.00 fraud case. theresa, bow a reports from one of saris. oh, the so so borders of christina fernando, the kirschner who came to the federal court building in when a site is to protest against argentine as to dca commissioner, was sentenced to 6 years in prison and given a lifetime ban on holding public office. after being found guilty of corruption is the 1st time and argentinian vice president has been convicted of a crime wealth in office. following full amelia says kirshner is a victim of political persecution. to log again in a sense of what they want to do is get her out of politics in a good way or

a bad way. they fail to kill her. and now they have this option 3 months ago, kirshner was the target of an assassination attempt. when a man pulled the trigger of his hand gun inches from her face as she greeted supporters, the gun failed to fire. on tuesday, a panel of 3 judges found kirschner guilty of aggravated fraud. continental christina elizabeth fernandez. de kitchener is sentenced to 6 years imprisonment. life disqualification from holding public office legal accessories and the cost of the proceedings because she is criminally responsible for the offense or fraud, lent administration to the detriment of the public. oh, kirshner is accused of directing millions of dollars of public works contracts to a family friend. prosecutor say they have found dozens of irregularities in public works contract in the province of santa cruz, where the kirshner family originally comes from. the former president denies all

charges accusing the trivial in charge of a political witch hunt and serving the interest of the opposition. you don't want, you must see. this is much simpler. it's not, no fair, but it's not a judiciary party. it's not a paddle of state and mafia, it's a judicial mafia. christina hernandez, the colonel was argentina's president for 8 years between 20172015. he is now this country vice president. he's an advisor bigger in this country. while there are many who continue to supporter than many others would like to see her in prison. kitchener is expected to appeal against the court's decision. despite her conviction, she has congressional immunity and is unlikely to head to jail any time soon. she does. it wasn't very so i'll just see that one aside is all right, still ahead on edge, is it another meeting to save the planet? we'll find out if a summit on biodiversity will make

a difference. ah hello, we got some proper winter weather setting in across a good part of europe. now fairbetter cloud over towards central and eastern parts as were a cold air has been coming from but some rudy cold air now talking in from the north. an arctic blast, setting it right down the north sea running right across scotlands england. right down into the low countries and beyond. so we will see these temperatures plunging as we go through the next couple of days and it will fill ra beslee cold struggling to get about freezing for many. as you can see, it's really cold out there in scandinavia as well, just for good measure or some snow mixed in as well from the baltic. st. poland, northern parts of denmark, seen some snow and there's a siegler,

geminus was at the morocco spain game and spoke to some of the fans after the match last night to former okay. on that fans here. its education at city stadium through to the wild card, a quarter finals of for the 1st time. i'm just going to grab a word with some of the delights it fans now. so well kind of qualifying you want to, how does it feel? i to amazing. it's really something which is i cannot even explain. it was really amazing to players to play very hard and can i ask you what, what this means, not only to moroccan fans, but to the arab world in general to this victory? what does it mean? all of the mean a lot for us with african as well because the way how to support us the way, how to push off like, and we're also like the at every, each place to celebrate with us when we're winning. so we really appreciate them and we loved them. we really love you, out of people in africa,

it's amazing from them. and do you believe you go all the way in and when the welcome? definitely, definitely, as i say from the beginning, we believe important to repeat and we're out of here more to play for like just to qualify for the phone door. well here to fight for it till the end. and we're not, we're going to get it. and god will and we believe in our play a big one. it was of course, an amazing night for the american fans. but i'm just going to bring in a demo delay is spanish from black gemma, just to word on the atmosphere. it was pretty hostile for the spanish side with it definitely was i think somehow might have affected the movie the ad most photo style. they created the games a spain was like, they were to the low go to the fan base where the player to number 12 and although i'd like to lay on definitely, and i think it somehow affected the team, the spanish, the me to young team is still growing with some problems, especially in the forward lay, there weren't able to score a goal during

a 120 minutes and through penalties so so, so such an embarrassment for spain. well, this match was played out to education city stadium and in the moroccan side all sides and gave us and how to defend. they were right of back pain. it was not right . they remained the last arab side standing at this tournament. have right the history. we have right due to report to be 30 i'll go ahead the. busy great stuff. now all the teams have now booked their places in the quarter finals. the matches will be played on friday and saturday when i speak not to sort of hide its who's at the soup work if in doha, with so many people watch that historic morocco victory last night. so yeah, it's a lot quieter this morning. i think the moroccans and arabs has been passing late

into the night. usually they'll be having around to having breakfast and just chilling out. but that's all happening at the moment. it was a huge win morocco for the arab. well, it's a fast and many, many ways as we had from gemma before. now. it wasn't surprising. i spoke yesterday as well as the spaniards. they were both really confident that their own teens is when i even spoke to one spanish support. and i said there's a possibility this could go through to the penalty of penalty shootout and they've said this is not going to happen. it played really well. they have control of all, most of the time when it came to scoring during the game. it didn't always quite work out. and of course, it led to a penalty. when isn't just about this game, it's so much more. this region has been investing massively in the last few years in that place. it's spending a lot more money loads of pul academy being open. traditionally in the middle east

. you always have to say, for example, in egypt you do have 2 teens and semantic that's changing. they're creating new team, younger teams as well. the players, the younger, they're also a lot more disciplined. there's a lot more investment on speaking to saudis. yesterday they said that the government has been investing a lot more in the pays here in caps, or they've been doing the same. and of course, as you review, if you change ago, maybe i think it was like last week, one against argentina. and this is many people from the reasons do you think this is just luck? do you think this is the fact that this is the 1st page you think that lock is on your site? and they said, no, this is showing that there is that the woke up potentially might move away from last in a erica and the west and europe. and you have saw, for example, like how much the law from egypt he is in the premier league. he is born and bred in egypt. he loves his football any to show hockey me us today. the last winning

golf for the penalty he is paying for our son, jeremiah another elite player. some of them are contin team members are actually born and bred in spain. and it was quite tricky for them to see because they're paying against right. and they chose to play for the home country and they all pay for legal. so we're starting to see this a lot more often. and if this continues, morocco could potentially go through to the semi finals if they beat for you. go on fact today. and if that happens, that's historic, not just whole morocco, not just the, the middle east, not just for the gulf region, but for africa as well because of c. morocco is a northern african countries, so they'll be hitting the, bought in many, many ways. thanks for that sort of hard life. first, they are at the work and in doha to people have been killed and a wounded in suicide. a bomb blast in indonesia, the explosion occurred at
